Hyderabad: Senior Congress leaders and former Minister D K Aruna and Ponnala Lakshamaiah will undertake a two-day hunger strike from Saturday to protest against “unscientific manner” being adopted by the State government in carving new districts. The former Ministers will begin hunger strike at 11 am on Saturday at Dharna Chowk, Indira Park.
Addressing a media meet at Gandhi Bhavan on Friday, the Congress leaders slammed Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for not accepting the demand for Gadwal as a district. She said instead of Gadwal, Wanaparthy was declared a district although it lacked basic infrastructure.
Lakshmaiah recalled that KCR had promised district status for Jangaon during the election campaign. However, Jangaon was removed from the list for political reasons. The Congress leaders also condemned Telangana State Planning Board Vice-Chairman Niranjan Reddy for his alleged remarks against D K Aruna. They said the districts reorganisation was being done based on a faulty report by Cabinet Sub-Committee.
